Eintracht Frankfurt - Viktoria Plzen: Form Analysis
Eintracht Frankfurt enter this Europa League first-round matchup in good form after a tough opening fixture to the 2024-25 Bundesliga season which they lost 2-0 to Borussia Dortmund.
Since that loss to BVB, die Adler have rattled off three top-flight wins on the bounce against Hoffenheim, Wolfsburg and Borussia Monchengladbach, scoring two or more goals in each of those matches.
At Deutsche Bank Park, the hosts have won both their games this season and have suffered just one league defeat in their last 13 matches at the venue dating all the way back to November last year.
Eintracht Frankfurt have only failed to score in one of their last 10 matches in all competitions!
Meanwhile, Viktoria Plzen come into this match off the back of their first defeat this season, beaten 3-0 by league leaders Slavia Prague on the road last weekend.
That result brought an end to Viktorka’s 11-match unbeaten run across all competitions, a period during which they recorded nine wins, including four straight in Europa qualifying, and two draws.
Notably, the visitors are now bidding to avoid a third consecutive away match without victory following a 1-1 draw with Slovan Liberec and last weekend's defeat to the Red and Whites.
This will be the first-ever meeting between these sides in a competitive fixture.

Eintracht Frankfurt & Viktoria Plzen Squad Analysis
Mario Gotze missed Eintracht’s last match against M’gladbach due to an illness and has been flagged as a doubt for this one, though he is still in contention for selection.
However, the same cannot be said for Kevin Trapp (hip), Oscar Hojlund (broken ankle) and Mehdi Loune (ACL), all of whom are definitely ruled out of this match due to injury.
Cheick Oumar Souare is flagged as a major doubt for this trip to Frankfurt!
Should the young Frenchman fail to return in time for kickoff, he will join the trio of Plzen players - Rafiu Durosinmi, Jan Sykora and Christophe Kabongo - who are currently on the sidelines with knee injuries.
Daniel Vasulin scored two of Viktorka’s four goals during qualifying and should return to the starting lineup this week after being left out of last week’s defeat to Slavia Prague.
